Since the early 2020’s fatal dog attacks have been covered in the media time and time again and half of these stories involved a single breed – the now infamous American XL Bully. The incident that really put XL Bullies onto the front pages of the newspapers was the tragic death of 10-year-old Jack Lis in Caerphilly, Wales. It was Jack’s death – and the campaign work of his Mum – Emma that fuelled the conversation around dangerous dogs.
Dermot Murnaghan is joined by criminologist and author Dr Simon Harding to discuss where the blame lies in these cases and if the ban has actually helped.
